HDHomerun and GBPVR anamolies

[Pochrist]

But that channel isn't available to the 1600, because its an Analog tuner, I don't use the ATSC side, The 1600's ATSC driver wasn't installed in GB-PVR or setup in the Config / Devices, only the Analog.

On top of the fact that the recording that was set up from channer 709
was digital and the channel that was recorded was 13 analog.... How is it being crossed, shouldn't atleast give an error or something?

What do I do? Remove the 1600 from GB-PVR

I can assure you it is.

Zip and email your gbpvr.db3 to me at support@devnz.com and I'll be in a better position to tell you why this is happening exactly.

I just checked you database, and these channels are indeed enabled on your HVR1600, which is why GB-PVR tries to record on it.

If you go into your capture source settings for the 'WinTV 1600' capture source, you'll see you've got all sorts of channels enabled that you probably cant get through that tuner. These need to be disabled, or GB-PVR assumes that device is fine to use for that channel.

In the example shown in the logs, you're watching channel 707 WABCDT, then do a record quick record for channel 709. GB-PVR works its way down your capture source list looking for a capture source that has the channel and is enabled and available. It finds these requirements are all met on the first capture source it checks (the HVR1600). When it tries to do this, 709 is obviously not a valid channel number on your 125 channel tuner, so it ends up getting whatever channel that tuner was last tuned to.

Make sense?

Well I disabled all the channels above 68 on the EPG and I even did the same to the Wintv 250 just in case.

I can record the right channel through the HDHomerun now. Thanks

Where do I set the the EPG not to reload those channels when it updates next?

At the Zap2it web site?

If you just disabled in them in your capture source, then it wont reenable them.

[dherman]

can we get some indication in the tv guide which device will do the recording?

The "Recording Status" tray app will tell you. It's not in the UI though.

I Think He means Prior to the Record, Doesn't the "Recording Status" just tell what Source is being used at the time its recording.

I would like to see a way to specify which device will record what , especially for trouble shooting purposes. It'd be convientent to override the order.

Sorry, I wont be doing that.

Well can't say I'd blame you for not, you've allot a work so far. Just expressing my opinion - I'm sure you understand why I thought it would be useful.
